Things Women Can Learn from The Bachelor

So over here in sunny Perth, we have just concluded a season of The Bachelor Australia, where 25 heavily made-up girls compete for the affections of one tall, tanned piece of deep thinking, beach strolling muscle called Tim.

In a painfully typical ending, the final episode came down to two girls - the Blonde vs. the Brunette, the Sweet and giggly girl vs. the Sexy, seductive siren... Anna vs. Rochelle.

Anna eventually won.  And all the relationships gurus around the world gave a huge sigh of relief.

Now, what can we learn from Anna the victor?

1)  Men don't seem to mind a bit of chubbiness.  In Tim's case, he preferred it.  Anna's double chin featured quite a lot during the season.  She was obviously one of the bigger girls in bikini.  Other than shots of her chest deep in water, or running into the water, back to the audience, the camera didn't really love bikini-clad Anna.  Rochelle on the other hand, had the body of a super model.  Wait, isn't she a pageant winner?  Rochelle's body didn't sway The Bachelor Tim.  I guess his body would be enough for both of them.

2)   The saccharine sweet smiles where your eyes crinkle up at the edges and husky giggles while flipping hair in any random space actually works!  Doesn't matter if your usual face is quite serious, even mildly fierce, in the presence of you love, make sure you melt down in a serious of uncontrollable chuckles.  It doesn't matter how you are actually feeling, men absolutely love it when you hide honesty behind those ever enduring shy giggles.

3)  Never, never tell a man you love him unless he either 1. tells you he loves you, or 2. asks you to say it before he does.  Why you would want to be with no.2, I'm not sure.  Ask Anna.  She was indeed the last of the final three girls to tell Tim that she loves him, and she got the man.  Playing hard-to-get has never been better exemplified.  Men love the chase, even if it is obviously an illusion, as in The Bachelor.

4)  It is absolutely essential to stoke a man's ego.  However, you should only do it when absolutely can no longer stand it and starts pouting his lips and stomping his feet, demanding for a list of things you love about him.  In fact, go ahead and put every attribute you love about him on paper and present it to him along with point 3) of this list.  He will love it.  Doesn't matter if you thought at first that this was rather "superficial", especially after only knowing him a couple of hours a week for 13 weeks.  Just block out your intellect and do it anyway.  You will Win!

and finally,

5)  Declare and repeat your virginity loud and often.  Make him feel like the only one.  Constantly remind him that if he choses you, he would have gone where no other man was ever important enough to go.  Even if you've had ex-lovers, call them "guys", never use the term "boyfriend" in front of your love, unless you are referring to him.

So now you know how to win at True Love.
